       Am
On the stormy shores of Azeroth
  E
A silhouette did stand
  F
A brave and stalwart sailor
    C              E
Who gave a helping hand
Am
Without fail, on every whim
      E
Which we did demand
   F
He simply smiled and waved his hand
    G
And sent us 'cross the land

[Refrão]

    C                  G
Farewell to thee, Placeholder
      Am                E
Your ship has sailed to sea
      F                C
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
   G
To be as great as thee
C                 G              Am        E
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
      F             C         G             C
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waiting for a ride

Am
Time did pass, until, one day
     E
That silhouette did fade
      F
Where once we found Placeholder
     C                 E
Only scattered winds remained
    Am
The stormy sea went silent
        E
On that dark and dreary day
    F
But come along, my friends
              G
Let's raise a glass up for his name!

[Refrão]

    C                  G
Farewell to thee, Placeholder
      Am                E
Your ship has sailed to sea
      F                C
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
   G
To be as great as thee
C                 G              Am        E
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
      F             C         G             C
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waiting for a ride

   Am
So when you find yourself lamenting
E
On that lonely pier
F
Watching as the ships come in
    C               E
And drying off your tears
  Am
Believe in what he stood for
      E
And I know that he’ll survive
  F
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
     G
Will always be alive!

Farewell to thee, Placeholder

We'll tip our hats and pray one day
   G
To be as great as thee
C                 G              Am        E
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
      F             C         G             C
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waiting for a ride
